Broadway gtwiWM
The outstanding dramatic eveat of
the year take* place this week-end when
the New York Theatre Guild presents
its Repertory Company here in three
of its most successful plays, in Aycock
Auditorium.
^The Second Man," by 8. N. Behrmaa,
is the first play on the program; it will
be given on Friday evening. The play
is a delightful comedy, in which Peg
Entwhistle and Robert Keith play the
leading roles. Miss Entwhistle is a
young actress who is nevertheless rec-ognized
as one of the most popular play-ers
on Broadway. She played the lead-ing
parts in "Tommy" and "The Home
Towners," and opposite Walter Hamp-den
in several plays. She took the
leading feminine role in his recent emi-nently
successful revival of Rostand's
s "Cyrano de Bergerae." Robert Keith
is equally well known; in fact, he cre-ated
the name part, Brown, in "The
Great God Brown." He is married to
Miss Entwhistle, an alliance which calls
r to nind that other famous pair of
. Guild actors, Lynn Fontaine and Alfred
Lunt.
The second play on the program is
"Ned McCobb's Daughter," by Sidney
Howard. This is the second of How-ard's
plays to be given here in their
first appearance in Greensboro. This
is a problem play and is probably the
most serious one of the three. Miss
Entwhistle again plays the leading part.
The third and last play of the group
will be given on Saturday evening when
the Guild presents George Bernard
Shaw's "The Doctor's Dilemma." This
is a typical Shavian play, containing
the characteristic clever comedy and
keen satire and cynicism. Elizabeth
Risdon, the eminent English actress,
and Warburton Gamble will star in this
produetioB.
The Theatre Guild is one of the most
, outstanding, if not the most outstand-ing,
theatrical companies in the world
today, presenting, as it does, the most
interesting current plays as well as an
occasional revival of a masterpiece.
Theatre-goers know that, no matter in
which of the Guild's several playhouses
the play is being staged, they are sure
/ of finding an excellent play, well acted
and beautifully staged.
The plays will begin at 8, 3 and 8
o'clock, respectively.

PRACTICE TEACHING
SYSTEM ACCEPTED
«
Seniors in Public School Music
Will Go to Rural Schools
One Day Each Week
SIX SCHOOLS TRY PLAN
A new feature has recently been In-troduced
into the public school music
course which It Is hoped will prove
helpful In bringing public school music
to the children in the consolidated
schools In Guilford county. This new
system of practice teaching had marked
success In the country schools of New
York State. The seniors majoring in
public school music who have been
doing all their practice teaching in the
training school, will go out to the rural
consolidated schools one" day each week
and teach-music In the grades, from
the. primary grades to the high school.
This teacher will meet all the regular
teachers of the school for a half hour
at the end of the day to help them
arrange the work that they must carry
on for the other four days of the week.
The seniors get no compensation for
thj* work, it being counted as their
regular practice teaching for which
they receive three hours college credits.
The school pays the. traveling and
other necessary expenses of the
teacher.
This new plan has been explained to
the principals of the rural schools, and
they are very enthusiastic over It If
it proves successful In the six schools
in which it Is now being tried, the plan
will be Introduced into all the schools
in Guilford county which have no regu-larly
employed public .school music
teacher. This Is a list of the teachers
and of the schools In which the system
Is now being tried: Ona Helms, Ran-kin;
Delia Batchelor, Bessemer; Kath-arine
Brown, Jamestown; Lorna Mae
Wilson, Montlcello; Katie Midyette,
Pleasant Garden; Lois Dorsett, Colfax.

FASHION WILL
REIGN ON CAMPUS
By MATMORE TAYLOR
With the coming of spring, so the
saying goes, a young man's fancy turns
to love and a young woman's to
clothes. Maybe it's for, that reason
that the roads are beginning to be lined
with college boys carrying yellow slick-ers
as a passport for a ride; and may-be
it's for that reason that N. C. Col-lege
is to have a Fashion Week for
the first time-in its history.
Refurbish that old spring dress—or,
if you're lucky, get a new one I Look
to yoor shoes 1 Clean up that old spring
hat I And by all means dont forget
your hose, for | as a usual thing these
are noticed more than dress, hat, or
facet Be one of the well-dressed col-legiates
who stroll the campus, fill the
nearby drug stores and shops, and beau-tify
the town. Become a Fashionable
Female for. Fashion Week I
The Home Economics club is spon-soring
a move for a better dressed
North Carolina collage, and the week of
February 25-March 2 has been desig-nated
as Fashion Week. The campaign,
during whieh Dame Fashion will reign
supreme, will come to a grand climax
Friday when the club stages a fashion
show at chapel. , Select maids of fash-ion
will display the latest mode, show-ing
what the well dressed college girl
wears on the campus, at the dance, on
the street, at the dinner hour, and in
every other situation.
A decided improvement in the looks
of the campus will probably be noted
when students forsake their winter
woolens for spring silks and satins.
Maybe the flowers will be persuaded to
bloom when they see the blooming
girls.
It is to be hoped that Old Sol will
shine and that Pop Pluvius will take
the week for the nap he must sorely
need. Slicker styles have certainly had
their day. But anyway—next week is
Fashion Week. Strut your stuff, girls I
N,C FACULTY TAKES
PART IN MEETING
Second Meeting of State-Wide Institute
of Parental Education Takes
Place In Raleigh
DR. LINDBMAN 18 DIRECTOR
The second meeting of the state-wide
Institute on Parental Education was
held last Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday, February 13, 14, and M, in
Raleigh, North Carolina. Dr. E. 0.
Lindeman,- consulting director of the
National Council of Parental Educa-tion
and formerly connected with the
North Carolina college, was general di-rector.
Several people from this institution
took active part in the work done at
Raleigh. Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse,
our vocational director, and Dr. Er-nest
R. Groves, of the University of
North Carolina, were joint leaders of
the group discussing the family and
the home. Miss Blanche E. Shaffer,
dean of the Home Economics depart-ment,
is a member of the State Coun-cil
on Parental Education, and pre-sided
at the Friday luncheon. . Others
were contributing members of differ-ent
discussion groups, as follows: Dr.
A. P. Kephart, "Spiritual Adjustment
of Adolescent Youth;" Miss Mary Cole-man,
"Place of Recreation in Child De-velopment;"
and Dr. W. H. Livers,
"The Home-School Relationship.''
Among the representatives from
other schools -and organizations were
Dr. W. L Poteat, president emeritus
of Wake Forest college: Dr. Robert H.
Wright, president of East Carolina
Teachers college; Dr. Frank Howard
Richardson, of the Frank Howard Rich-ardson
Clinic at Black Mountain, and
Dr. Caroline Hedger, of the Elizabeth
McCormick Memorial Fund, Chicago.
Although there were lectures given
from time to time by widely known
speakers, the main work of the insti-tute
was done in open forum discus-sions.
Each afternoon different groups
met for two-hour discussions of special
topics and their conclusions were pre-sented
to the whole meeting next morn-ing.
The purpose/of the organization is
to make avalaible to parents all possi-ble
information which might be help-ful
in rearing children. The value of
this work is perhaps best expressed by
Alfred E Stearns, who is quoted in the
institute booklet as follows: "There
are tasks which none but parents can
perform. There are relations whieh
only parents can fill with their chil-dren.
The questionings of childhood
and youth can be answered safely only
by wise parents who understand."

MR. DAVIS TELLS ABOUT
RED CROSS ACTIVITIES
Shows Ways la Which Organization Is
Related to the Lives of Stu-dents
aad Others
GRACE HANKINS IS IN CHARGE
The program for Tuesday's chapel
was devoted to a Bed Cross program, in
charge of Grace Hankins, who was also
in charge of the Red Cross drive on
the campus Tuesday.
The speaker of the program was Mr.
J. W. Davis, who spoke to the girls
about why every girl should be a Red
Cross member. He said that the Red
Cross, an organization whieh is well
known everywhere, was formed for
the purpose of aiding, mankind in dis-tress
and it means much to every per-son.
He showed the .different ways in
which the Red Cross is related to the
lives of even the students. It is part
of personal equipment for life and it
gives technical ability in first aid work.
Mr. Davis said that a knowledge of
first aid is essential to every one at
some time, to help others or them-selves.
Also does the Red Cross give
instruction in life saving and in home
nursing A most important branch of
the Red Cross that Mr. Davis spoke
of is the Junior Red Cross, which he
urged every girl who became a teacher
to make use of in getting in touch with
the children. ,
Mr. Davis also mentioned the service
to the community which the Red Cross
performs in taking care of disabled
soldiers and in' other public nursing.
He stressed the faet that the Red Cross
is a national organization and thus the
money that each individual gives is
used wherever it is needed most. He
left as his last thought that the Bed
Cross is founded on individual mem-bership
and represents an interest in
human life.

Aycock Auditorlaas
HRS. THOMAS C. BUNT IS STAB
The Greensbiro Little 'Theatre pre-sented
Clemenee Dane's "A Bill of Di-vorcement,"
the three-act play whieh
seriously discusses the divorce problem,
in Aycock Auditorium on Monday night,
February 18.
The plot of the play is concerned
with a divorcee who has used her hus-band's
insanity for grounds of perma-nent
separation, and the consequent
complications when the divorced hus-band,
temporarily sane again, attempts
to take up life again from the point
where he left off when shell shook
clouded his wits. The part was ably
displayed by Mrs. Thomas C. Hnnt
The secondary plot, that of the con-flict
of the new order with the old, is
carried out by the reactions of the dif-ferent
members of the east aa their
ideas of comparative right aad wrong
clash with the strictly conformist aunt.
Mrs. Hattie Wineberg played the part
of the aunt. She adroitly handled the
part, whieh required a decided finesse
of interpretation to keep it from the
caricature elaas.
"A Bill of Divorcement" was the sec-ond
performance put on here this year
by the Little Theatre. Kate Hall, tO,
